Cursor skips around like a bush kangaroo when editing articles

Dave Kerr

I'm writing an article and in the 'pre' blocks the cursor seems to arbitrarily jump to different parts of the pre block, sometimes the end, sometimes the beginning. This is making edits hard!

Yeah, we call it Skippy. FireFox? Or a different browser?

It's Chrome actually - I don't know if it's related, but since the last time I used the editor also if I paste some text from a pre section into a new paragraph, all of the text except the last line is copied properly - the last line gets formatted as paragraph text but with span styling to make it monospaced fonts. Trying to think of anything else that might help... I've got no funny extensions on Chrome, was using the editor in the WSIWYG mode. Typically I create a code block via the menu, then right click and use 'paste as plain text'. In the past this has never caused problems, but it's actually been about 2 months since I've written an article. It was changing cursor pos about on average once or twice per code block I was working on. Has anyone else had any similar issues? I can try and come up with a more detailed repro if that helps.
